"The Last Judgment" (play)

"The Last Judgment" is a play by French playwright Jean-Paul Sartre, first performed in 1947. It explores themes of existentialism, guilt, and moral responsibility by portraying the characters' confrontations with their past actions and authenticity. The story unfolds in a confined setting where characters face an inescapable divine or moral tribunal, symbolizing self-awareness and accountability. Sartre uses this narrative to examine human freedom, the search for meaning, and the inevitable consequences of choices, prompting audiences to reflect on personal ethical considerations and the nature of judgment beyond traditional religious contexts.
